I know New Yorkers are hesitant to move to Ohio because they think they will miss the Fresh Salt, but soon you won't need to worry about that.

Planet Oasis!

A Central Ohio developer is lining up the pieces for a sprawling amusement park covering 350 acres in Delaware County, featuring a multitude of attractions representing a "multi-billion-dollar" investment

The complex would be centered around a 15- to 20-acre salt water lake with sand beaches and a boardwalk connecting the multiple venues.

Honestly, Ohio is probably one of the ugliest states, in terms of nature. It's not that the bland parts are worse than Iowa or Indiana, but that there's very little to offset them. The only part that I really I've seen that I liked was the Cuyahoga Valley, the part upriver from where the river can start on fire.

The islands aren't bad, either. Anyway, Delaware County has multiple freshwater reservoirs hundreds of times larger than this planned endorheic folly. If they want to ruin their little bit of Ohio, I can't say I particularly care.

There's Read, the ToS, Bob, some guy who had an issue with Nosflow that I can't remember the details of but I think was mostly off-this-blog in origin, Clownaesthesiologist... that's all I can think of for bans, although my memory is imperfect.

That was also not exactly originally a ban. He dropped the horrifying confession, banned himself because no one would want to associate with him after that, and then a while later (don't recall how long, but not very) emailed the FPPs to see if he could come back, and consensus was that no he couldn't, given the magnitude of the confession and some other exacerbating factors. But I don't know that we would have arrived at banning him if it hadn't been his idea.

Wasn't there some otherwise reasonable sounding dude who admitted to a date rape and was asked to leave?
There was also an American dude in Germany whose pseud was his name backwards like ttaM who beefed with a number of the people on the blog and huffed off.

64: Huh, I thought I was the only American dude in Germany who commented semi-regularly on Unfogged. I'm not around as much as I used to be because of inconvenient employment, and my name has always been forward. At least it has as long as we have been at war with Eastasia.

About the only commenter I have had serious disagreements with is gswift, who didn't like hearing that the first guards at Dachau were regular Bavarian police, but history is like that sometimes.

Great meet up. Just Plain Jane (great to finally meet and put a face to a pseud, I hope you made your train), LB, dagger aleph, Jackmormon, Blandings, and Tia. We successfully invested the position for the duration. Thanks to all for coming out.
